First Fall Showing of
The Correct iii New Apparel
With the change of season comes the desire to transport one’s self with
magic swiftness from the light airiness of summer into the richly beautiful
clothes of fall. New possibilities to appear at one’s best present themselves in
the new silhouette, in new colors, new fabrics, new trends, new flares.
With studied elaborateness of detail
that gives the effect of simplicity, fall
frocks prove irresistibly appealing. Sub
dued autumnal tones and a tendency
toward the more natural waistline are fea
tures that one notices.
A black lace dinner
gown with blue and old
gold girdle buckle and
shoulder clasps is priced
at $49.50.
A youthful Vionnet
model of black satin crepe
uses intricacy of line to
form the silhouette—

Smart Frocks of Silk or Wool, $25.00
Wraps, very straight and slim, are
trimmed with a wealth of fur. The ma
terials themselves, silky soft deep pile,

a penchant to exquisite fur bandings of
which a favorite is kit fox. Box and
three-quarter length styles.
